Cast Iron: Gothic of the Industrial Age

A set of cast iron components. Slender iron columns support pointed arched iron ribs, with cast trefoil and scrollwork floral decorations at the nodes. The railing features repeating openwork patterns. The ironwork is painted dark green or black. The same module is extensively repeated, revealing the essence of industrial production. Avoid: making the ironwork look irregularly hand-forged, removing the floral decorations to make it pure structural steel, making each component's design different, painting the iron a bright color.

一組鑄鐵構件。細長的鐵柱撐起尖拱形的鐵拱肋,節點有鑄出的三葉與卷草花飾,欄杆是重複的鏤空圖案。鐵件漆成深綠或黑色。同樣的模組被大量重複使用,顯出工業生產的本質。避免:把鐵件做成手工鍛造的不規則樣子、拿掉花飾變成純結構鋼、讓每一個構件的造型都不同、把鐵漆成明亮的顏色。
